Arrest after San Jose standoff following stabbing

SAN JOSE, Calif. 
San Jose police have arrested a man after a nine-hour standoff that followed a fatal stabbing.

Police spokesman Jose Garcia says the man - identified only as a 51-year-old - surrendered to officers at his home shortly before 11 a.m. Friday.

The standoff began after officers discovered a man fatally stabbed outside the home.

Police say they were alerted to the stabbing victim by a 911 call from the residence at 1:46 a.m. But the man who was arrested refused to cooperate with investigators who arrived at his home and locked himself inside.

Police believed there may have been guns there, prompting the SWAT team to be called in.

Police say they do not know the relationship, if any, between the victim and the man who was arrested. They have not established a motive for the stabbing.
